**The Swiss Cheese Defense - Multi-Layer Testing in the Age of Al Agents** Agentic AI is now producing 40% of code, dramatically increasing development flow by 10-20x, which has shifted the engineer's role to guiding agents and orchestrating the process. This rapid acceleration has overwhelmed the traditional, human-paced development pipeline, leading to bottlenecks in reviews, CI/CD, testing, and QA. To overcome this, solutions focus on "Scale Safety Nets," including scaling testing through parallel execution and ephemeral environments for every change, and enhancing deployment safety using feature flags, anomaly detection, and SRE AI Agents. Presented by Luca Bonmassar, CTO at Checkr, who leads the development of software products that help millions of people find their dream jobs while supporting a fair and safe future. With over 20 years of experience, he had excelled at creating and growing software products across various industries, including Fintech, Crypto, Social Media, and AI/Machine Learning.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
